STRATEGIES FOR URGE INCONTINENCE
When you can an urge to go, try to dull the urge by
• Standing or sitting still- don't keep moving
• Hand pressure over perineal region
• Sitting on the edge of a chair, rolled up towel or edge of a bed
• Pulling up and holding your pelvic floor
• Crossing your thighs
• Leaning forward with your back straight while sitting or standing
• Pulling your feet up or curling your toes
Maintain this for 15-20 seconds or until the urge dulls
Once the urge has dulled
• Stand slowly
• Don't rush to the toilet- walk slowly if you still need to go, counting your
steps on the way- breathe easily
• Try to take your mind off your bladder by continuing whatever you were doing
before or starting a new activity
• Try to build up the time you can hold on for before going to the toilet
Keep in mind that bladder training will take time. Triggers that can lead to
minor setbacks can include
• Overcast weather
• Stressful situations
• Being ill (especially a cold)
• Tiredness
• Around menstruation periods
